How Do I Issue a Red & Yellow Card?
Red and Yellow Cards are part of a disciplinary procedure used to document unsafe actions and behaviours in the workplace. This procedure supports the regulation of employee conduct and assists in decisions regarding removal or termination from site, particularly in cases where site rules have been breached. It also serves to raise awareness among workers about the consequences of their actions and encourages greater compliance.
- A Red Card signifies a serious breach of health and safety procedures and may lead to removal from the workplace, depending on the severity of the incident. For example, a Red Card may be issued if an employee operates machinery without having received the necessary training.
- A Yellow Card represents a formal warning for actions or behaviours that, while less severe, still have the potential to cause harm. This may result in a warning being issued and additional measures being put in place to prevent recurrence. For instance, a Yellow Card may be issued if an employee fails to wear the appropriate PPE for a task.

This is required before you can add a Red & Yellow Card:
